It's just a small story really, about, among other things, a girl, some words, an accordionist, some fanatical Germans, a Jewish fist-fighter, and quite a lot of thievery. Set during World War II in Germany, Markus Zusak's groundbreaking new novel is the story of Liesel Meminger, a foster girl living outside of Munich. Liesel scratches out a meager existence for herself by stealing when she encounters something she can't resist: books.

When South African conservationist Lawrence Anthony was asked to accept a herd of "rogue" wild elephants on his Thula Thula game reserve in Zululand, his common sense told him to refuse. But he was the herd's last chance of survival: they would be killed if he wouldn't take them. In order to save their lives, Anthony took them in. In the years that followed he became a part of their family. And as he battled to create a bond with the elephants, he came to realize that they had a great deal to teach him about life, loyalty, and freedom.

Few of us meet our dogs at Day One. The dog who will eventually become an integral part of our family, our constant companion, and our best friend is born without us into a family of her own. A puppy's critical early development into the dog we come to know is usually missed entirely. Dog researcher Alexandra Horowitz aimed to change that with her family's new pup, Quiddity (Quid). In this scientific memoir she charts Quid's growth from wee grub to boisterous sprite, from her birth to her first birthday.

Publisher's summary
From the author of the critically acclaimed bestseller, Scent of the Missing, comes a heartwarming and inspiring story that shows how dogs can be rescued and can rescue in return.
For her first book, Susannah Charleson was praised for her unique insight into the kinship between humans and dogs, as revealed through canine search and rescue. In The Possibility Dogs Charleson chronicles her journey into the world of psychiatric-service and therapy dogs trained to serve the human mind, a journey that began as a personal one. After a particularly grisly search led to a struggle with PTSD, Charleson credits healing to her partnership with search dog Puzzle. Inspired by that experience and having met dogs formally trained to assist in such crises, Charleson learns to identify abandoned dogs with service potential, often plucking them from shelters at the last minute, and to train them for work beside hurting partners, to whom these second-chance dogs bring intelligence, comfort, and hope.
From black Lab puppy Merlin, once cast away in a garbage bag, who stabilizes his partner’s panic attacks to Ollie, the blind and deaf terrier who soothes anxious children, to Jake Piper, the starving pit bull mix who goes from abandoned to irreplaceable, The Possibility Dogs illuminates a whole new world of canine potential.

At loose ends with her daughter leaving home and her husband on the road, Sue Halpern decided to give herself and Pransky, her under-occupied Labradoodle, a new leash - er, lease - on life by getting the two of them certified as a therapy dog team. Smart, spirited, and instinctively compassionate, Pransky turned out to be not only a terrific therapist but an unerring moral compass. In the unlikely sounding arena of a public nursing home, she led her teammate into a series of encounters with the residents that revealed depths of warmth, humor, and insight Halpern hadn't expected.

On Sunday, November 29, 2009, more than 12.5 million families fell in love with the television adaptation of the novel A Dog Named Christmas. Within forty-eight hours after the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie aired, the initial run of twenty thousand DVDs sold out. Two years later, when Christmas with Tucker, the prequel to the McCray family stories, was released, it was described by Dean Koontz as “a perfect Christmas read,” by A. J. Jacobs as “lovely and poignant,” and by Publishers Weekly as “cute, hopeful, and heartwarming.” Now, the much-anticipated third installment, A Christmas Home, will prove to be yet another holiday classic.

More than 15 years ago, Tamar Geller began her career as a dog trainer by observing a scientific study of wolves in the wild. She realized that the socialization and parenting techniques they used to raise their cubs were rooted in bonding, communication, and play: not in aggression, dominance, or punishment. If people used these techniques when training their dogs, she realized, there would be no need for prong collars, choke chains, or any kind of physical or verbal aggression.

Powerful stories
At first, some of the back stories were very difficult to hear - mistreatment of animals sickens me. But to hear of dogs not only saved from terrible circumstances, but going on to help people in amazing ways was very inspiring. I also enjoyed learning more about the training process. The author beautifully weaves the stories of dogs & humans, including her own journey. She also does a masterful job of narration.

First, I LOVE Susannah’s voice. Not only are her stories well told and interesting, her voice is soothing. It feels like you’re just sitting chatting together,not just being “read to” I so admire ppl who take on the huge job and sacrifice of training service dogs. As a retired Vet tech,foster and rescuer I cherish each of her books as they bring back memories good and painful.

Susannah, Loved this book
Wow, what a great book.. I liked that you went thru the variety of breeds.
So my two boxers (two yrs apart) died within a week of each other. We had adopted two children two years before ages 1 and 3 who fell deeply in love with Stormy and Patsy. They lived to ages 10 and 12. We couldn’t get a dog for at least a year and a half.
Instead we adopted a cat. He ruled the house and could cause my other sons ranch dog to cower.
A year and a half later my 7 yr old son asked to go on a date with me in the UTV. We went by the animal shelter and he saw what he thought was a German Shepherd. We stopped to look at it, and it was a Belgian Malenois…no way at 70 was I going to attempt that one. As we left, a High School volunteer asked us to take a look at Astra, a one year old female, black with white marking dog. Breed guessed at was Pit Bull/Great Dane. I told my son we would go home and pray about it. We visited again and went home to think about it. The previous owners had Astra and her brother. I think they didn’t want to pay to get her spayed.
She is one smart girl. She sit/stays, heels, shakes, plays dead dog. When we brought her home, she went in a crouching position to meet the cat, the cat walked up and smacked her in the muzzle with her paw. They sleep together in Astras kennel at night with the door open.
Thanks for sharing some of the things you do with your dogs. We are working on door now.
Had her DNA and health risk tested. Astra is 1/3 American Staffordshire Terrier, 1/3 Pit Bull And 1/3 Boxer. Her health is very good….she is a God dog.

Wonderful work!
Beautiful story about rescue dogs...a little sadder than I anticipated but still a very good story and wonderful work. Dogs are so much smarter than we give them credit for!

beautiful
In turns moving, hilarious, and fascinating. Beautifully read. Recommending it to anyone curious about dogs and/or mental illness, but really it's a book anyone seems likely to enjoy. Entirely wonderful.

Excellent
The only thing I didn’t like about the book was that it ended too soon it was excellent and I was sad when it was over. I think Susanna Charleston is amazing!

Best dog book author ever!
She throws in some amazing training tips in these books along with real life stories that she has come to life with her narrations. Hoping for more books from Susannah Charleson.
